According to the LeMoyne College Strategic Plan, "A Le Moyne education encourages reflection and discernment that leads to imaginative action on behalf of transformative justice." For Le Moyne sociology major Alexandra Scorzelli, that goal was realized through a service learning project at the Hillside Work Scholarship Program. "It was here that I felt I had made the right decision to major in Sociology and concentrate in Childhood and Special Education at Le Moyne. I began my service learning as a tutor and realized that I could see myself continuing further, due to my background and interest in education."
